A Fried Sweet~Lolo

This is one of unique and important festival in the Sindhi festival calendar. The festival is dedicated to Goddess Mahalaxmi, the Goddess of wealth and being celebrated during the “Shiradhs” – a time period of two weeks dedicated for paying homage to forefathers. Celebration of festival starts with tying “Sagaro” a thread belt compiled from raw thread with sixteen knots,on wrist. On the eighth shiradh, sagaro is untied

To mark the end of festival a special worship prayer of Goddess Mahalaxmi is conducted in near by temple where all the ladies are gathered with sagara of all the family members. Each sagaro is rolled over the set of four “Puris” and for each sagara set of two each Sori [sixteen pointed Tiki] and Titar [with four points] are made and after the worship are to be eaten by the family member concerned.

For this festival Tikyoon, Lola and Satpuda are prepared in Sindhi homes. Satpuda soaked in sweet milk is one of tasty sindhi food. (source-The sindhu world)

Last month we observed this untying of thread and the best part of it was making Fried Lola which my son relish like anything

Though normally these are made with sixteen or four points, but I asked my son to help me making those, without bothering how many pointed tips it had, since these were not going for pooja ceremony, but into the school lunchbox of my son.And he likes these to be somewhat star shaped:-)
